Action video games that want to tell stories have a problem: players do little more than shoot people for the vast majority of their time.

But last year, one game came as close as I’ve seen to solving this intractable dilemma, and from an unlikely source. Wolfenstein: The New Order is as brutal and intense as any first-person shooter you’ll ever play, and it’s the most recent entry in a classic series whose stock has considerably fallen.
